Atticus's JournalSome good news and some bad news:
The GOOD---Trump announced today that a "fully approved" Corona virus vaccine will be publicly available by year's end.
The BAD----The vaccine will be produced by the Clorox Company and will be "fully approved" by Eric Trump.
I'm so relieved! Apparently, if I just never get another PSA test, I'll not have to worry
about prostate cancer. Tests = cases; no test = no case.
Who knew?
With apologies to Mighty Mouse upon the unfurling of the new "Space Force" flag:
Mister Trouble always hangs around
When he hears this boastful sound.
"Here I come to save the day"
That means that Tiny Hands is on his way.
Yes sir, when it's time to choose a side
Tiny Hands will run and hide.
On the sea or out in space
He will cater go his base!
When building a house, one does not schedule delivery of the shingles and gutters for
the first day on the job site. In due time, the builders will need lumber and bricks and pipe and wiring and, eventually, shingles and guttering. But, before any of this can be used, you need a foundation. The best carpenters and plumbers and electricians in the land will be wasting their time and talent if they attempt to build without a solid foundation upon which everything they do will rest.
A sane, intelligent and caring POTUS in the White House is the foundation for any successful national undertaking. As long as the waste of skin now in the White House---aided and abetted by those in the GOP brothel---continues to spew hatred and nonsense, we not only have no foundation to build on, we have a site manager who claims "the dog ate my blueprints!"
Trump is quicksand. Joe is solid bedrock.
When do we stop backing up? When do WE stand OUR ground? When do we respond to
threats from these MAGATs with a steely-eyed "Bring it."
They object to being ordered to wear masks when shopping and threaten violence? "Oh, excuse us all to hell. The order is cancelled!"
Armed militia creeps invade the Michigan legislature and shout threats: no arrests. The next week, they return "armed to the teeth" ( their words ) and---the legislature cancels the session and stays away.
A salon owner defies her state's order to close, she is arrested, put in jail and then released the next day because too many thugs were raising hell and threatening more protests. "We don't want to make a martyr out of her" was the reason given for ignoring her defiance.
We are not being seen as "the adults in the room". We are being seen as patsies---too weak and cowardly to stand up for our beliefs.
Either laws and orders mean something or they don't. If they don't, let's quit pretending and admit it's "Lord of the Flies" time.
Using the "reasoning" of the anti-stay at home protesters:
-"WHO SAYS I have to drive on the right side of the highway?"
-"It is my right as an American to let my children play in traffic!"
-"The government isn't gonna tell ME where I can walk my pet Bengal tiger!"
-"If you don't want to openly carry a bazooka into a restaurant, then don't! But, don't tell me I can't!"
-"It is a well-known fact that antibiotics are a deep-state cover story for injecting us with tracking chips!"
MAGA! LOCK HER UP! OBAMAGATE! NEENER-NEENER!
As I listen to the ignorance, hypocrisy, arrogance and shamelessness of the Republicans
showing their asses at the televised questioning of Mr. Bright, it occurs to me that P.J. O'Rourke was spot-on when he coined the term "A Parliament of Whores".
What is Rep. Guthrie's (R, Kentucky) purpose at the Bright hearing beyond putting a fresh
layer of his lipstick on Trump's ass?
It is difficult to feel sympathy for people who walk past all the warning signs, climb
over the barricades, walk up to the edge of the cliff, gaze into the abyss, smile and step off into the void.
Is this not what the "open the country" protesters are doing?
When Trump says "There may be a few spikes" when we open all the schools next fall,
understand that he is actually saying "Some of your kids may die, but so what?"
